"End the microbial and this is very well established in an animal model studies that the microgram maybe not so efficient. And in the end of the day, this microbe like when to release the houses, and the houses were going to create new batteries of our brain. That's really interesting. Would that suggest that if you If you give anti inflammation drugs to let's say your lab rats are your animals and then eventually people you could test out that theory. This is a very good point, and it's very important to mention That you had many tribes in the best that try and inflammatory drugs to 3000 emergencies and how this trials failed. But what our instead is proposing here I was. Studies proposed here that to have exact moment in the disease where these drugs should be tested. For example, we are proposing that when the top pathology or the oldest depart, the position of power is confined to a part of the brain, where it it starts in the patient have amyloid pathology in the same moment. Is this the moment that you should try and inflammatory drug if you tried and defamatory direct much earlier than that someone started regular not going to have any effect because they control group and the disease group. Both will not have any benefits of the medication because the disease is still not progressing. But if you try too late when the top it'll is already progressing for the rest of the car takes this drug is also not going to work. So how would how would you? How would you know? Then? The exact time when you should give the drug I mean, you can't Get into the brains of people, can you? This is a great question. This is a great question. We can know this with the the image that you use or the bio markets that using our study, you can take a picture of the brain and you can see where is the deposition of family of doubt. In order formation are We propose that if you use this biomarkers to enrich the population of clinical trials to identify the population, that's in the exact moment where the top pathology progress, which can identify this population. To treat in the correct moment. And how would you be able to do that? Are you in that? Are you in that process now of getting further along and trying to give the anti inflammation drugs at the right moment. I think this is the next step. But I think they need to replicate this finest and we won't follow this individuals. For a longer time to better a certain what's this exactly Moment? I think we need more studies for in the future being able to perform this clinical trial. With the correct moment to treatment. Yeah, one last question. I remember that. Last year, the FDA approved the first drug as you can a mob for removing amyloid from the brain. If you recall, it was a bit controversial because the evidence that it helps actual symptoms. Well, that's still scarce. Is there still a use for this kind of drug? If we're seeing a new role for inflammation. In the end of the day. The discussions in the field right now due to the results of that map, uh, a not be optimal to reverse the cognitive decline of the of the patient. The tennis in the field now is to try to find the combination of drugs that can better work in the disease progression. And I think what I results suggest, and I think, even suggesting our manuscript. Is that, in fact the combination between drugs such as a kind of map that aim to mitigate their accumulation of families, but also with inflammatory Will be the best therapeutical approach for this stage of the disease. Because if you are saying that there is interaction between the Reformation, and I'm like pathology, leading to the progression if you're acting the two sides in this In this stupid tells me like any other information. We're going to have a much buttons. She ate effect to benefits patients. This is science Friday from W. N. Y C studios.

Here doing the show when our lives were changed forever here in new york and of course in pennsylvania at the pentagon all around the world. This text says i lived every moment of nine eleven on long with you guys twenty years ago just kind of frozen in fear knowing life was changing as we witnessed it happening.

Ninety three memorial in pennsylvania and another memorial happening at the pentagon. We're one hundred eighty. Four people lost their lives. You know it's interesting. Around third of americans. Too young to remember nine eleven. Wow a report that came out about five years ago. Put it at twenty six percent but over thirty percent. Americans are now twenty five and younger. So they're too young to remember or weren't even born yet Of course it was the deadliest terror attack in history with twenty nine hundred. Seventy seven people killed on september eleventh and twenty seven hundred. Those were killed here at the world. Trade center in new york city and people have still been dying because of of diseases. They have They picked up while serving downtown at what was ground. Zero three hundred forty three new york city. Firefighters died three hundred and forty-three of our firefighters. Twenty three new york city police officers. Thirty seven port authority officers lost their lives. In over six thousand people injured eighty nationalities. Lost at least one life that day. The british lost the second highest number of people. Twenty people were pulled out of the world trade center rubble alive. Wow the last survivor was trapped. Twenty seven hours before she was rescued the days after nine eleven americans came together in the first two days after nine eleven more than a million and a half units of blood were donated nationwide in that september alone. People donated almost seven hundred million dollars to help victims families and by the end of the year of two thousand one over two billion dollars had been donated around. Sixty percent of americans gave money donated blood or volunteer in various ways. The reason i bring this up only the stats about what happened on that day. But what happened afterward. It really shows you who we were. As americans following the days following the day of nine eleven and now a look at how americans are acting today and it's unsettling so tomorrow if you don't mind Stopdown you can just peacefully. Think about what happened or you can watch a show or read something online but does take yourself there because that's an important part of our history and also let's try to relearn how to be civil with each other even if we have disagreements in there you go sorry to be a downer but now where we are You know not to not to sell more books. You can check it out of the library or borrow friends but if you check out of my story about how we were handling Life on that day and the days after. I think it's very interesting. It's it takes me back. I read it last night. I picked up my book and actually read that chapter in. It reminded me of what that felt like. It wasn't wasn't pleasant at all but we learned a lot.

We've we've seen all these these these various Natural disasters happening in our country of lately. And you see people getting together and they they feel that vibe again and you know what we should be able to feel the vibe without disaster. And that's my point and so every day is a disaster.

Carrie Johnson NPR NEWS Washington Employers in the U. S added 266,000 jobs during the month of April, far fewer than economists were forecasting the nation's jobless rate went up 6.1%. NPR's Chris Arnold has more on the latest numbers from the Labor Department. This is a much weaker jobs report than expected, most economists predicted a gain of well over a million jobs, so this is just a quarter of that. Also, job gains from prior months were revised a bit lower. There are still about eight million fewer people employed than before the pandemic, and at the same time, businesses say they're having trouble finding people to fill the jobs that they have open. So that's a bit puzzling to economists. Some people are still unable to return to work because their kids are back in school or due to cope. But health risks.

We're joined now by our education reporter Vanessa ran condo arts associate editor Nasty of Anouska and Silicon Valley reporter Sam Harnett. So we talked a little bit about the equity piece, which I actually want to get into with you all as well. How does that show up in each of your beets and the stories that you're thinking about in 2021? I think I'll start with Vanessa. Well, I think probably everybody has heard the word digital divide about a zillion times since the pandemic started. That has been a huge story and unfortunately You know, things have not improved as much as we might like. To give you an example. It was about half of Oakland Unified's 50,000 public school and charter school students who didn't have a device or Internet when the pandemic started, so there was a massive fundraising effort to try to get devices out toe people. Beyond the devices themselves and the Internet access. We've seen a huge tech literacy divide. Lots of students who didn't have these devices at home didn't know how to use them and lots of parents. Who had never used email, for instance, so district's and community organizations have had to put in a lot of effort to try to bring parents up to speed. Beyond that, I would just say that kids who have parents who are essential workers who can't be home with them. We've seen. I'm struggling more also, students who are having to care for siblings right if their parents aren't home very different from, say, Ah family that Both parents are home but working, but they can afford to have a tutor at home, right. My sister is working as a to her. Yeah, family. I was just thinking of all the different situations that people are in like having to make very specific decisions without I mean, without anybody telling him what's really best, like they just have to make the decision for what's best for their own families. And we're all kind of going through that. But people with kids and people who both want schools open but then also don't want to send their kids to a school if it if they don't feel like it's safe. I imagine it's just a really hard thing to deal with. First for any school district. Really? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, this is one of the things that interest me. The most right now, In terms of this debate around school reopening is we see this really vocal on increasingly organized effort on the part of Parents who really want to see schools reopen who really want their kids back in classrooms and then Less visible. I'd say a group of parents who say that they don't don't want their kids back great in surveys that these district's have done. It's a little over 50% in general who say that they're not ready to send their kids back and then when you break it down by demographics, For example, in Oakland, it's only about a third of black and Latino parents only a third of low income parents who say that they would send their kids back to school right now, Right?

Workers hoping to get basic employee protections have been dealt another blow. The California Supreme Court is throwing out a challenge to Proposition 22, which became law in January and allows companies like uber and lift to deny their workers employee status to break down. What this all means. I have KQED Sam Harnett here. Hi, Sam. My brain, so we'll get to this lawsuit. But can we back all the way up to prop 22? It was a showdown between Labor and Silicon Valley companies like lift and door Dash, But it was also a showdown between Silicon Valley companies and the California government. So can you Unpacked this back story. Sure, so since these companies got started eight years ago, labor advocates have been saying your misclassifying these workers they're not contractors their employees and they deserve basic employee protections deserve unemployment, overtime worker's compensation, etcetera. They've been fighting that since the beginning the California government for the first six years of these these companies being around they were basically on the sidelines, and it was only in 2018 that California's government really started stepping in, and so you had all three branches of California's government. First it was Supreme Court, which issued the dynamics decision, which made it much harder for these good comes to classify their workers contractors. Then the Legislature, wrote 85, a law that was specifically geared towards good companies. That was made to prevent them from his classifying workers. And then you have the attorney general who sued uber and lift saying that they were misclassifying workers. But then proposition 22 undid all of that. The reason that proposition 22 is successful and that these companies really got off the ground in the first place was venture capital and then all the money from there I pose. So venture capital is a really key part of this. This is ah key part of how Proposition. 22 ended up eventually passing interesting. You know, I have never really heard it put that way from venture capital to a statewide ballot proposition. So if you take the long view, venture capital is what made this all possible. Venture Capital is what led to proposition 22. I mean, these companies wouldn't even exist without venture capital. They started with tens or hundreds of millions of dollars of venture capital. Then they got billions in their I P o. These companies lift and uber are still not profitable, and a nonprofit company probably wouldn't be able to run a $200 Million ballot initiative campaign. You know, it's It is all of that funding, which which allowed this play by these companies. Be possible, and the play was to use the proposition system to get around California's government venture capital. My P O money gives companies that buffer to get a proposition passed and it's an amount of money that labor can never compete with labor organizations could never raise $200 million for a ballot proposition, and so again, that's that's what really has labor folks worried. You know, I talked of you two balls, you professor law. You see Hastings and she says prop 22. This might be a blueprint for other companies. And we might see a lot more of this. The Californian political system as well as frankly cough when your voters got smacked down by money and interests here in the process of getting proposition 22 past and what's really scary is that it's a stark example of the government deciding one thing. And then Cos Fang will. This does not suit us, and we're gonna change it. All right. So let's talk about the lawsuit, the one that has been thrown out. What was the goal of it and what happened. I mean, the lawsuit was really labors reaction. So they filed this lawsuit saying, Listen, this is unconstitutional and their argument was a little. It's a little in the way is to get into it. But basically, they said, this proposition limits workers access to worker's compensation and their ability to unionize. It also prevents the Legislature or local governments from really changing that if you remember and proposition 22, there's this 7/8 prevision, which basically the proposition would require 7/8 of the Legislature to agree just to amend the thing. So this lawsuit was saying, Hey, you're basically tying government's hands. You're not letting them change this and it's unconstitutional. And the Supreme Court decided not to hear the case. You know, that really leaves labor with few options here. Okay, So what happens next? The big fear is that this gig Labor model is gonna be explored the other industries and that's already happening, right? I mean, we did that story on security about the grocery delivery workers who were employees who are being laid off for a place with door dash workers. So the big fear again. The labor community is that that this is going to spread and there's no real play for them. I mean, at this point, California's government has not been able to regulate these companies. And it would probably take the federal government to step in KQED. Sam Harnett. Thank you. Thanks, Brian. You're listening to morning edition on KQED. Ryan will be right back with KQED news.

"And Nation of language morning becomes eclectic starts at nine right here on KCRW. It's 6 51. This is the California report. Good morning. I'm Saul Gonzalez In Los Angeles State health officials are recommending a pause and using one batch of them a daring a corona virus vaccine because of unexpected adverse reactions in people who got the shot Kate Judy's Molly Peterson reports. At issue are about 330,000 doses of the vaccine sent to California earlier this month about 10% of the state's total. Because the vaccine is new people who give it watch recipients for 15. Minutes after the dose goes in at Petco Park in San Diego, six people at a massive drive thru clinic needed medical attention in a short period of time, so local officials swapped out the batch that they were using. Counties across the state are pushing to get more doses faster. But some say the setback may further delay vaccinations this week. State officials emphasized that the risk of a serious adverse reaction to the Madonna formula is very small, one out of 100,000 people. They're investigating and hope to have more information soon for the California report. I'm Molly Peterson in Los Angeles. In November, California voters passed Proposition 22 drafted and backed by Uber Lift and Gord Ash. The prop, which became law this month, allows the companies to keep drivers as independent contractors instead of making them employees with guaranteed pay and health insurance. As critics say they predicted would happen. Prop 22 is now having effect on the state's wider labor market. The country's second largest grocery store chain, Albertson's, is laying off its grocery delivery employees and replacing them with contractors at door dash with a closer look. Here's KQED Sam Barnett. Eric Neal moved back to the Los Angeles area when his mother died last year. US 40, and he's been working ever since he turned 18 mostly retail Wal Mart Home Depot in Los Angeles. He got a job delivering groceries for Vons, and he really liked it. Have a company than that has compartments where there's 1 to 1 grocery, and the men have women spurred chilled produce, and then they have frozen compartment. So you know the best way I can bring the stores to the customer. The income was a lifeline, especially during Cupid. But then, a few months ago, he says, he got called into a meeting with other delivery employees and managers told them all that they be laid off in a few months. Independent contractors at door dash. We're going to take over their jobs. Not only am I gonna get a job I've been homeless, just 15th of December, His landlord sold his building and he can't find an affordable place. So he's been living in his car, which he just made the down payment on He doesn't understand the company's decision. There's tons of work, he says. He's doing like 11 or 12 deliveries just in the morning, are able to talk to them ever asked him Why Well, but where will Who did who did the cost analysis on this? And who being did you know that always was more cost efficient just to go. In the end. The contract is And the people that we already have that their day in day out. Blood frontiers and I'm going through it. Albertson's will terminate Neos delivery job on February 27th along with a number of other non union delivery employees. The company will not specify how many, but it could be several 100 in California. In a statement and Albertsons spokesperson wrote. This decision will allow us to compete in the growing home delivery market more effectively, adding that Albertson's Cos divisions plans to offer positions to each impacted associate. The company has no binding legal commitment to offer these new jobs, and it's not clear how these positions would compare to the delivery work that Neil is doing. All of this is exactly what labor advocates warned about with proposition 22. I am not surprised that this happened this quickly because what the proposition 22 Worker category that was created does is significantly lower labor costs for corporations. We knew the ball is a professor of law. You see Hastings, she says. Logistics and delivery employees are just the first to lose their jobs to the new worker category created by prop 22. Proposition. 22 is essentially a blueprint for how to lower labor standards across the board. Venture capitalists see opportunity. Sean Caroline is a partner at Menlo Ventures. In an article published on the information, he wrote that there's potential for this new labor category in industries like nursing executive assistants, tutoring programming, restaurants, agriculture and sue keeping. Here's the ball again for those who have been thinking of this as a whole different type of work as something that would never affect them. This is really the time to start paying attention. This model of work is coming for you and your job. Executives at big companies have long argued that they're kind of work is something totally innovative. David while is dean of the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at BRANDEIS University, he says even though this work is through an app, the business strategy is nothing new. It is just a part of the evolution of the erosion of workplace standards that has happened in lots of different ways while came up with the term figuring for what's happening to American workplaces. Since the seventies, executives have turned more full time employees jobs into part time, temporary, outsourced and now independent contractor work through gig platforms that don't offer traditional employee benefits. You're using the platform as a way to get out of the obligation of actually treating those workers as your employees. The door Dash replacement at Albertsons has spurred other grocery delivery workers in California to unionize. I can't tell you who made him that told people to Dracula's still lucky. I have this job. Lee Littlefield is a delivery employees in the San Francisco Bay area at Safeway, which is also owned by Albertson's. She and others just unionized with the United Food and Commercial Workers International, she says they wrote into the contracts that employees could not have shifts taken by door dash. If we didn't have this contract, I imagine it would have been laid off with everybody else. Eric Neal was not part of a union. So now he's trying to figure out what to do. Next. He hopes you can find another employee job with some kind of safety net, which in America is becoming harder and harder to find. For the California report. I'm Sam Harnett..

The way they were we're operating before their workers would be contractors that means they wouldn't have basic employee protections, unemployment shirts, workers, compensation, and the way this proposition is written, that will be pretty much locked in.
